ok so ive heard the speccing any defense is bad for pvp, thats where im torn between timeless and stalwart sets in pvp
and as well as the extra AC and Deflection vs 10% cd reduction and 10% more damage on controlled targets. How much
more survivable is the build i seen from fearitself with the extra AC, i dunno how much 1 AC gives in DR, or should i just not even bother and spec full offense like envy build.

Defense is countered by Armor Penetration and defense shredding via. Plague Fire weapon enchantments, whilst AC and Deflection are not.

I plotted a graph of defense and its effectiveness in my post found here.

With full Stalwart's I end up wit 3300 defense, which is pretty decent for pvp. Anything higher than 3500 will be wasted. The extra AC T2 items gives you will give you an overall 1% damage reduction (0.5% per point). Hope this helps you make your decision.

well im referring to the 5 AC talent in the spec trees (middle tree bottom row second one in), so that extra 5 ac is 5% less damage taken?
